[Exclusive] Gianna Simone opens up about her journey from living under foster care to slaying on the red carpet

Gianna Simone talks candidly about growing up in foster homes and how she is still in touch with one of her 'sisters' and would like to get in touch with rest of them
UPDATED NOV 29, 2018

Actress Gianna Simone's real-life story is nothing short of a fantastical Hollywood movie narrating the story about hope and perseverance. Simone spent her childhood going from one foster home to another, and when she turned 16, she secured a modeling job with only 12 pictures in her portfolio. As rejections became a part and parcel of her career, she was constantly told to opt for acting. At that time, she took on the advice as a "diversion" from her real goal of modeling; she did not take it seriously until she fell in love with it.

The Boston-born actress has acted in over 24 films and just last month we saw her starring in two incredible movies - 'Unbroken: Path to Redemption' and 'God Bless the Broken Road.'
